I'd comment, but that image leaves me speechless.
7.2mp Sony was mine.. always thought photography was too expensive a hobby for me...
I was right!

Come on! You knackered the line of the curb on the third house on the left... Or Dave's as I call it....
Will try again tomorrow. Just back from the pub...

White Alice by mrkramer, on FlickrHoping to get out again tomorrow and try to find some musk ox, but for now I'll post this picture of the White Alice antennas, I think these are the last ones that are still standing. They were for military communications during the start of the cold war before satellite communications were feasible.

Looks cold! Love it.

This is one image I was initially unhappy with because the X-T2 white balance needed sorted badly in post. I also had to dial down the saturation a bit from the Velvia film simulation

Some great pictures from an area of Scotland that doesn't get too much tourist attention yet is in easy reach of Glasgow. Used to go on my holidays down in New England Bay, a few miles from Port Logan. Always liked going down to the Mull of Galloway lighthouse. Perhaps it's always better in the good old days but summer always seemed warmer/drier down there.Port Logan Shore, SW Scotland.

I like that I can wander down to my many locations and just shoot. It's not like that up North with all the tourist photographer /workshop spots like Glencoe, Rannoch Moor etc. I've heard of arguments and fights happening at the Buachaille because folk edge into other peoples shots or brazenly throw their tripod down in the middle of someones shot etc. I was last in Glencoe shooting in 2006 and 2007 at Buachaille Etive Mor. I met one other photographer on the first occasion and none the next. If I was to go now, I'd probably meet 50+ with the same conditions I had. Same with Eilean Donan Castle on the same trip. Met 1 other photographer and had the place to myself the second time. I had the Old Man of Storr to myself the next morning as well and what a shot I got there!
I don't think I'd venture up there to those spots again in a hurry. Perthshire is a place I love though, it's sort of hush-hush in a way apart from when Autumn arrives.
Dumfries & Galloway is the hidden jewel though, such a diverse landscape.
I'll post a few photos over the next few days from the trips I mentioned. I was down at the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse just last weekend. I got a cracker there

Knew of White Alice Springs as I was in the Army Security Agency from 66-70. Used to call these places "garden spots" due to their isolation. Another one is Shemya Alaska, out at the end of the Aleutian Islands.

Dave can walk safely again.
Nothing special. Just an iPhone snap from my office window. All the snow was gone by 11
Thanks, but it's just a quick fix using pixelmator. A great tool for quick fixes. I sometimes use it to remove friends from holiday snaps. Great fun!
